Hi,

I need some advice its been a few years since i've had to do this. Currently have a 1 single HDD in my machine with the windows installed on it.

I have a new 1TB SSD i want to install and make it the primary drive with everything on to load faster and game faster. What is the simplest way of doing it? Am i going to have to wipe it and then install windows onto onto the SSD?

Can i get some advice please?

Thanks,
 
I think most people will advise clean install. Download the windows of your choice, make a USB bootable drive. Disconnect the hdd and connect the ssd, install, then reconnect the hdd and transfer any files off the hdd you need.
